"The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future." - Theodore Roosevelt

C H A L L E N G EThe most common way we learn about history is by reading about it. While textbooks tend to be known as boring; they certainly hold a lot of information in a tiny amount of space.

This month, the A&G staff tasks you with creating a page spread from a wizarding history book about an event or historical character of your choice. What you include on your page in terms of information, images, and magical touches are fully up to you.R E Q U I R E M E N T S+Any medium can be used to create your entry.+You must create a two-page spread of a wizarding history textbook+The event or person depicted, information, and layout are fully up to your discretion. S U B M I S S I O N SSimply go here and paste your entry into the submissions box. Remember to check for formatting issues!

You are certainly entitled to use conjecture as long as you don’t blantently defy the canon. For example claiming Voldemort murdered Harry’s family on the 7th of April or gender bending Flamel wouldn’t be advised. Feel free to add embellishments to known canon or present the topic from a different side if you’d like!

Congratulations to the winners! All House points, items, and galleons will be sent to you directly, so there is no need to post tradelinks.

Additionally, we have our Fan Favorite, chosen by all of you! Please join us in congratulating Mercedes Metelic (Entrant 8 ). They receive a graphic to commemorate them for their efforts, as well as an additional ink spot for our Blotting the Parchment incentive raffle!
